The Week We Compared Notes With Our Husbands

The Week We Learned Rejection Is Just Redirection In Disguise

When a sudden layoff blind-sided twin-mom Courtney Capano, she skipped the spiral (mostly) and made a high-stakes pivot into entrepreneurship. In this episode, we dive into how she turned a temporary safety net into a thriving three (soon to be 5) store retail empire, all while pregnant with baby number three. It’s an unfiltered masterclass in tuning out the safety noise, leaning into your village, and letting your gut dictate your next big move.

The Week We Took Back our Agency in A Postpartum Fog

We’re told motherhood is a "magical" season, but for 80% of us, the reality feels more like a hormonal storm than a fairytale. In this episode, we brought on long time friend, Lauren Jones, to dissect the messy differences between the Baby Blues, PPA, and PPD not as experts, but as women who have lived these experiences. We’re sharing our own stories of seeking help, be it medication, therapy, or a doctor. It’s a conversation about reclaiming your agency, looking for glimmers, and realizing that asking for help is the most courageous thing you can do.

The Week We Realized There’s No Right Way to Be a Working Mom

This week, we’re joined by Amy Gattoni, a career-driven, experiential marketer, boy mom and content creator who’s building a community for moms who are in the thick of it. As working moms, we discuss daycare, career ambition and the constant weight of mom guilt. We unpack what it actually looks like to “choose what works” when nothing feels like a perfect answer. Amy shares what it’s like to balance a demanding, travel-heavy career with motherhood, the realities behind daycare (and the judgment that comes with it), and how she’s learned to stand confidently in her choices, even when they’re hard. We also discuss building your village, letting go of control, and the pressure to do everything “right” in a world that has an opinion on everything. If you’ve ever second-guessed your decisions, compared your path to someone else’s, or wondered if you’re getting it wrong, you're not alone. Because so have we. There’s no one right way to do this, just the way that works for you.

The Week We Celebrated 'Different,' Not Less, And The Parents Who Champion It

This week, Gina and Maddie welcome Ariel Simonelli for a deeply personal conversation about navigating life with her three year old autistic son who is level two non-verbal. Ariel shares her journey from a high-risk pregnancy, to a NICU stay to the pivotal moment where she realized her son was regressing. We dive into the complexities of getting a formal diagnosis and life after. This episode is a masterclass in fierce advocacy, redefining empathy, and learning how to "slow down" to see the world through a different lens.

The Week We Compared Notes With Our Husbands

We brought our husbands on the pod to get the dad perspective on marriage, mental load, and life after kids. From marriage tension to dad guilt, identity shifts, and the support dads aren’t getting, this episode is raw, honest and filled with the kind of conversations we don’t usually hear from men. Turns out our experiences might have more in common than we thought. Don't worry it's not all heavy, we also trash their NFL teams, put them in the hot seat and maybe even start a fight.
